一 背景
sysbench是一款开源的多线程性能测试工具，可以执行CPU/内存/线程/IO/数据库等方面的性能测试。
sysbench 支持以下几种测试模式 ：
- 1、CPU运算性能
- 2、内存分配及传输速度
- 3、磁盘IO性能
- 4、POSIX线程性能
- 5、互斥性测试
- 6、数据库性能(OLTP基准测试)。目前sysbench主要支持 MySQL,PostgreSQL 等几种数据库。
二 实验环境

2.2 其他配置
安装EPEL，安装方法之前的文章有介绍。
三 安装
安装命令如下：
[gysl@gysl-DevOps ~]$ sudo yum -y install sysbench

4.3 测试过程
sysbench 的测试过程一般分为三个阶段：
- prepare：准备阶段，准备测试数据。
- run：执行测试阶段。
- cleanup：清理垃圾数据阶段。
4.4 CPU 性能测试
找出指定范围内最大质数，时间越短 CPU 性能越好。

五 总结
5.1 对于数据库的测试，本文未进行介绍，后续遇到该情况时会进行介绍。
5.2 由于时间仓促，文章中大部分英文本人并未进行翻译，但是涉及到的英文都不算难。
5.3 磁盘I/O测试中，--file-extra-flags 选项比较重要，有的存储设备是直接I/O，其他详情还请查阅相关资料。
5.4 本文仅仅根据帮助信息整理完成，其他详情还请参考官方手册。
